Met Gala: The Good, the Bad, the Really Not Fab

So, in an attempt to continue to be relevant, I'm offering up some mild snark and high praise for some looks from the Met Gala. "The Met Gala?" you say, slightly confused. "Why, what is that?" It's the Metropolitan Museum of Art's costume party (this year the theme being punk) where only the rich and famous are invited. And I, being so incredibly awesome, have picked out the most unique fashions from the evening so you don't have to sit through and look at all the pictures yourself. And I'm tellin' ya now, these punk dudes and gals were not so...well...they look pretty terrible if you ask me.

Kerry Washington in Vera Wang
So, I give you kudos, Ms. Washington. You actually look punk. However, this dress is just way too busy for those gloves. Maybe would have benefited you to through your hair up? People have this on their best dressed and it just confuses me. Maybe I'm not high fashion enough.

Zandra Rhodes in a regretful ensemble
Looking like a confused bubblegum gypsy who used kool-aid to dye her hair has never been punk. Ok, the hair is punk, but paired with that outfit it is just crazy grandma.

Beyoncé in Givenchy 
I should have turned back now. It looks like Baroque threw up all over her legs. I mean that boot is pretty cool, but how is this punk? It's more gothic if anything. She has a great body, should have gone for something more flattering.

Madonna in Givenchy
Woman, dress your age already! If I saw my mom dressed like this I would probably never leave the house again. Also, she looks like Farquaad with that haircut.

Ashley Madeweke as a mermaid
Yeah, she's a mermaid. Nothing punk about this piece at all. Unless I missed the memo that marine creatures are considered couture punk fashion now.

Katy Perry in Dolce and Gabbana
Oh boy. I have mixed feelings. It just seems so busy. But it's just...kinda sick. I mean, she looks like she walked out of a Byzantine mosaic crossed with a Klimt painting. And she kept to the theme. I'm in a love hate relationship.

Cara Delevingne in Burberry
So, I'm thinking the whole cocaine scandal was to prep for the Met Ball - right? Personal life aside, Cara looks fierce in this studded gown. It's great she didn't make her outfit too crazy which really makes it shine.

Nina Dohbrev in Monique Lhuillier
EASILY my favorite. I am totally gushing over this because it is so different but she looks SO badass. It only would have looked better with her boyfriend on her arm. Here is a front view.

Rooney Mara in Givenchy
Punk goes wedding? This dress is a beautiful gown one would think would be on the red carpet for award shows. HOWEVER, there's zipper detailing along the back and front. Gives it a punk edge. Also, her deep plum lipstick is a welcome contrast to the white gown.


I suppose one disappointment I had with the Gala is that not many got into character and, if they did, it was typically overboard (I'm looking at you, Madonna). However, when the outfits were good, they kicked major bootay.

Agree? Disagree? Don't even care? Let me know in the comments mes amis!
